Great place to buy gently used item for a low price however, if your looking to sell item that you paid a lot of money for then I wouldnt suggest selling it to them. Ex: I paid 110.00 for a infant snow suit that is still brand new and they want to offer me $4.80. So naturally I declined. But still a okay place.
Great selection, good things for less! Very nice staff, customer service oriented.
Not worth the time and money I spent driving back and forth. Very disappointing 😞
Great selection, just have to dig a little for the deals.
The one manager with the sort hair is the gloomiest person I have met in a long time. When you walk in to the store on her shift and you can feel the tension. And she always trys to get my stuff for nothing. I like the lady manager with the long hair and also the nice young girl named rebecca. The new person rebecca is a nice change of pace
Kind staff, very helpful. They had a good selection for my toddler. Great book choices, too!
Wanting to shop here to try and find some stuff to baby proof the house. Did not stay because most of the staff members where not wearing their mask correctly. They did not have their noses covered and one if the employees had it on her chin. I do not feel comfortable buying items here knowing that proper safety precautions are not being followed.
Once upon a child is a good place to get quality used clothes for the kids! $23 got a pair of shorts three pairs of sandals and a pair of shoes!
I don’t understand why it’s always a mess here! It’s so cluttered. They need to shut down the store and clean! It looks so ghetto in there. Also the lady that works there probably in her 50’s with short hair and glasses is super rude to every customer. Reason why I only take my business to Electric road :)
Dirty dirty dirty.....racks are slammed full. Clothes scattered in different sizes. Saw a bug in the corner (needs a deep clean). They really need to adjust prices accordingly. There are stains, holes, rips, missing buttons. The strollers are filthy, could use a wipe down. I use to be a weekly shopper at another Once Upon a Child on the other side of the state. They WOULD NOT take a fourth of the items you do and have.
Always a great place to buy for grandchildren!!
That store is shady, they gip you on your items an they charge as much as the original store does ..
Love there prices, sales person are always helpful but they need to do something about the Clutter and checking out takes a while because theres only one person checking out customers and no clear defind lines.
Great place. The workers are all nice and very helpful.
Prices for clothing are good. Prices on toys are high. They do not have shopping carts with seats for children so you have to bring a stroller if you want your child to stay put.
I do really like this place, I am able to get my kids ages 12-3 and hopefully a newborn soon a lot of stuff! I do wish that they bought more items at a better price off of me, and wish that they didnt resell certain items (Walmart brand in particular)for the same price you can get new in the store. But overall I love the place!
Nice clothing store.
Perfect place to get kids clothes. The store is better organized and the clothes are in better condition than most consignment stores. Kids grow out of clothes so fast, so why spend twice as much at Target or elsewhere for essentially the same thing? Well be going back again and again for our 3-year-old and 3-month-old.
Very nice place to shop for kids stuff. Good and clean place and friendly people that work there.
Roanoke has went down they said they would text after 30 min I asked they said 2 hours on buying clothes I mean we been going for 6 years. Christiansburg was at least and hour faster and we drive almost 4 hours one way.
Some stuff over priced but some great deals
Great customer service. Will be back.
Why do they not have a 0 star for this worthless place? Upon arrival, without the thought of ever entering its place of business, It looked like a black and Hispanic welfare line and everyone was smoking cigarettes right outside the door and waiting to sell boxes and totes full of their childrens memories. Why would anyone even consider shopping at such a lowlife business? It was sickening and disgusting watching trash sell their own kids stuff for money. Anyone who shops here and congregates with these maggots are as well, Maggots too! Who would purchase used baby items? Isnt the child you brought into the world to love, protect, nourish, and raise worth more than that? They should close down these types of businesses. That toy your child is putting in his/her mouth you bought there....Where has it been? Simply nasty.
I shop at more than 1 location but this is my favorite. I find that it does seem a little more crowded as far as clothing and items but this is beyond control of the employees and they are making the best use of utilizing space that they can. there is way more clothing to choose from so if that means i have to be a little cramped then so what who cares! Location is convenient, Staff are always friendly and even if busy they greet you coming through the door. Always willing to help. I have recommended this location to family and friends.
This location has better prices and better sales. They now have shopping carts. The aisles can be a little tight but I dont mind because of the deals.
Customer service needs improvement. Would rate a 0 star but thats not an option. Dropped some items off and because we dont live close by, the girl at the register offered to call us when they were done reviewing the items. A day goes by, no call. We call back and are told they were done reviewing items, to come in to collect funds. I explained I lived about a 45 minute drive and it would be a few days. She said no problem. I went today to get the cash for the items and i am told, oh we can only give store credit cause you didnt come back soon enough. One person says one thing, another says something else. All I was offered was to provide the owner feedback. I would have been better off donating the items to goodwill. Rip off.
I love this lil shop..it keeps meaw in the now....lol
Favorite store to shop for my son. Cannot beat the prices on good quality thrift finds.
Exceptionally horrible customer service. The place is disorganized and when my husband and I came in to sell items, they turned us away because they only wanted small totes, not large totes. The woman working the front was rude and unprofessional. We took our items 6 miles down the road to Once Upon a Child near Tanglewood and they happily accepted our items AND took almost $100 worth of items. The owner of the Town Square location really needs to review their staff and retrain basic customer service skills!
They are well stocked. Lots of great buys.
Great place when your kids are little and out grow their clothes before they out wear them
Decent prices. Friendly staff. Good selections.
A bit more expensive than i expected but sometimes there are good finds.
I LOVE this place, what a life saver for parents who cant afford the newest things. I visit here quite a bit. My biggest complaint is some of the girls are rude, they dont greet you, dont smile, just ring you up and send you on your way. Also I have sat at the register for a few minutes while 5+ people are behind there talking and so fourth, definitely not cool. lastly, this store is way to packed. You can barely even look through the clothes because its so tightly packed, the toys are thrown around. you have to literally dig to Look maybe looking into a bigger space or doing some cleaning up.
Great prices! Many promotions for sales if you enroll in their perks program. They also buy kids clothes and toys
How pathetic. I was turned away because my tote was too big then when I asked if we could use one of their totes, the lady rudely said you cant use one of our totes. We will not be returning to this store. I can agree with others, customer service is poor and employees were rude. Someone needs to address this.
One of the worst Once Upon a Child in the area!!!! SO cluttered they are not friendly. They take items that have bad stains or tears. Tried to be helpful and inform them of a dress I saw passing that had a huge tear and one of the workers was like yeah there is a tear. She took the dress and marked it up and put it on a different rack. So becareful. They are not organized. Having clothes in bins in the middle of already cramped aisles. Or having bins of empty hangers in the middle of aisles. It is so cramped by the front door there is barely room for foot traffic. To come and out without getting knocked down. We do not come here unless we really have to, due to others not having what we are looking for. I recommend if you need to get something for your child go to another Once Upon A Child, and see how a nice one looks like. Leave this one for last, as a last resort. The bathrooms are also a huge issue. My kids went in to try to use the bathroom came running out they said they would rather hold it then to use the bathrooms, because they are nasty. They are lucky they are getting any stars. * update* just went there again looking for ballet shoes that is again all in a box on the floor cluttering an aisle. We only go here if we really really have to. Each time we go it is more cluttered then the last. BUT THE WAY IF YOU DID NOT KNOW IT IS A FIRE HAZARD! ! ! If you must go here be careful for clothes that they take every time I go I see a lot of clothes with huge holes and tears and stains. All I can say is that if you can go somewhere else until they clean up and declutter. If anyone was in a wheelchair or had a kid in a stroller they would not be able to fit through the front door and if they did they would not be able to maneuver well.** Update- they really seem like they are trying to clean up their act, still not my to go to Once Upon A child, but they are trying. Which is better then them not. You all still need to clean the shoes a bit better on how they are presented, and put the dance shoes on a shelf. The toy area needs to be cleaner. The bathroom might be public, but that does not mean that it is not your job to clean it, so please do so. I will give a star for doing a bit better. But you have a long way you go. -
Not organized at all . Need to sell to the electric owner. They text u at the electric one and have communication. I brought a huge bag and they threw it in the trash because I came two days later although I came one day and the online said they opened earlier then there door did when I called I got a fax machine so instead of holding my stuff they threw a whole bag of clothes in the dumpster that I could have donated to a kid from church . I’ve never had this issue with the electric rd I am so sad thT I moved on this side of town and now this one is closer to me
I brought in a laundry basket and big box of infant clothes. They barely took anything, but hey, $20 I didnt have before. They have a ton of stuff and not a lot of space... Probably need a bigger store!
Theyve got good prices on anything youd need for baby to big kids. Only real issue for me is how jam packed the store is. Its over filled with clothes. Almost panic enducing if youre there while its busy.
Pretty organized store! Friendly staff that were very helpful.
Every time we walk out we feel so good by the article we buy. Great deals great prices.
Polite and fast, they always give you a fair price for your items as well.
Found some Great items for a baby. Good sale when I shopped
Started at this location and moved to other new roanoke location! BIG MISTAKE!!! The newer once upon a child the people are very rude! I learnt if you dont know someone that works at youre out of luck! Thats the best way to describe!This location is very polite, they dont judge, and are very organized! Highly recommended
I feel you get a good deal but if your selling you always feel like you could have made more money
Great to take ya kids gently used to sale
So many great gems and the price is always right!!
First off the price that they charge for used clothes will be the same price that you can get at Walmart. In fact I was there not too long ago and a pair of fleece pants was $5 went to Walmart and it was $2. How are you going to price gouge on used items?!
As soon as I walked through the door a nice lady greeted me and asked if I had been there before and asked if I knew how things worked she helped me with the forms and told me it would be about 30 min I walked around and fou nd a few things then she came and got me when she was done but ij had watched as she actually took the time to look through the totes and didnt just toss it up she showed me the items she wanted to purchase and gave me my totes back best customer service at any once upon a child Ive been to
Great experience. Lots of choices and good clothes.
Ive been going to this location over tanglewood mall because its bigger and has a variety but I walked in today and not only were two young ladies (a blonde and brunette ) couldnt see there name tag being rude about there conversation while I was still in the store but they had made a comment saying the Moby wrap I had brought in had bleach stains and was dirty were laughing and such . I did mot see any plus I had washed everything right before coming but thats not my issue my issue is the customer service is getting horrible..all i ever see are down faves like they dont even want to be there for one if they want us to shop there act like it and dont have conversations that you shouldnt while a customer is in the store
A lot to choose from. Appreciated the assistance from staff.
Great prices and a lot of selection for kids clothes.
Really expensive for a second hand store! By the time you get past the toddler sizes you might as well buy brand new.
I can’t give a zero rating unfortunately..every single worker acts like they have something up their butt and they don’t understand customers service. I smell new management or I won’t be shopping here anymore.
They had everything I was looking for and very helpful and nice
I really dislike this store. It is super tight in there, narrow isles, it feels very dingy. When it comes to clothes they have an ok selection, but for the rest (carriers, toys, bassinets etc), they are either cheap because they are super dirty or worn out, or they are in good condition but same price as new! So might as well order it from amazon...
Really nice store
Love the variety of items they have and the sales. Plus the rewards program.
Shop here alot nice used cloths cheap
If u r their friends or family, u get a way with anything. Awful!
I have yet to have a bad experience at this location. Since its right next to Sams Club and a good Kroger, its the OUAC in Roanoke I visit most often.Theyre a little more selective about buying, but thats fine by me. Sometimes they buy very little from me, other times they blow me away with how much they want to buy.Sometimes the selection is a little dull, but, again, theyre selective about buying.Toys selection is always great, yesterday we found a full size Buzz Lightyear action doll there in great condition for even less than the average price for the same item on eBay.As far as customer service goes, they have always been great to me. When I take my two toddler boys there before theyve had their naps and little brother starts screaming like a cat on fire, they are always understanding and make googly noises at him and dont act annoyed even though they have every right to be.The only OUAC Ive been to better than this one is the one in Forest, but thats only because its never as busy as the Towne Square location is, and I like a quieter shopping experience.All things considered, the Towne Square OUAC will have my familys business for many seasons to come.Alyssa Duvall
This place is a ripoff. I took brans new shoes and clothes that my son NEVER wore and that tried giving me $5.00 dollars for ten outfits or so. Id rather give my sons old clothes away for free vs being ripped off by this bogus store
Love this store has everything i need for my grandson
They didnt have carts with child seat so shopping harder if bring small child with you
Great selection. Friendly staff
Wonderful place to get baby clothes good deals
Great place for second hand kids clothing
Great place to buy gently used kids clothing!!
Good selection and prices
Good place to get kids clothes and toys used
Its okay. Some staff a bit unfriendly
Had such a bad experience. Rude customer service. They need to only take in stuff on certain days. Everything is just thrown around and not put up properly just not a great establishment at all
Fast and easy cash☺😄😃💵💰
Great place to donate baby stuff
Cluttered so bad it makes it overwhelming. You can barely get through certain areas.
Great clothes and toys nice staff
Good clean store, great customer service
Found some cheap shoes for my daughter and several dresses
Friendly employees! Fast checkout and great location
Associates at this store are rude and the store is a mess, the quality of the items are not as good as Electric Rd store and Christiansburg.
Always great deals and awesome staff!!!%
Love this place ❤️
This place helps sooo much
Messy with almost regular store prices.
Ok store. Never take my clothes though.
This place is a ripoff! I brought about 20 pieces of clothing most of witch was new with tags and a few kids toys barely used was offered only $7.00. The workers are rude and the store very cluttered. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.
Good prices and plenty of variety
Very rude wont ever shop at this once upon a child again, needs personality and nice people.
Place is to packed, hard to find anything and not enough Employees!!
One of the worst once upon a child Ive ever been to the manager is beyond disrespectful and rude it is very dis-organized The owner must not care about his store to have a manager who is disrespectful to customers The no wonder the store looks like that.
Very organized.
Got my son 7 pairs of pants, 5 shirts, and jacket/pants set for only $40!
Fair prices, large choice.
Excellent customer service
Favorite consignment store
Love this place
Good selection and affordable
Great experience
